[QUOTE="David2012, post: 1884500, member: 24428"] When I go some place where I know it will be posted no guns, I sometimes drop my collapsible ASP [a $25 knockoff] into my vest pocket. 6 1/4" closed.. 15 1/2" expanded. I've had training with a ASP & PR-24 through the agency I worked for... and I took a CLEET certified course using them as part of my on-going annual training for my armed Private Investigator / Security Guard license... so I feel comfortable carrying it. In a situation where I was being threatened with something less than a firearm, I would be able to make good effort at defending myself. The thing about a ASP or PR-24 baton is there are certain places you cannot stike a person-- such as in the head, over the heart, & the kidneys... as it can cause death or permanent injury. You can certainly break a arm, wrist or hand. By limiting most people to using only a handgun for self defense, it makes people think long & hard about if they are really in a life threatening situation.. or can they avoid the situation & using their weapon? Because when the bullet leaves the barrel, there is no turning back. On the other hand, with a ASP, SAP or BlackJack.. people can misuse them in a quick manner and then melt away into a crowd or into the dark. [/QUOTE]
